In a significant step toward improving access to potable water, three schools and two communities in Krobo Land have received five mechanised borehole projects with overhead poly tanks. This initiative, carried out under Phase 24 of the Living Water Project Ghana, is a collaboration between the Churches of Christ, Ghana, and their partners in the United States of America.
The official commissioning ceremony took place on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Odumase Anglican JHS in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality. The boreholes were formally handed over to the beneficiaries, marking a major milestone in the project’s mission to enhance clean water access.

The newly commissioned boreholes will serve:
Schools
Odumase Anglican JHS

During the event, Mr. Paul Partey, Ghana Country Director of the Living Water Project, emphasized the project’s long-term impact. He revealed that over 24 commissioning phases, the initiative has successfully delivered 72 mechanised boreholes with overhead poly tanks to various schools and communities across Ghana. He reaffirmed the organization’s dedication to expanding access to clean water and supporting broader development efforts.
Erica Neene Sackey, Headteacher of Odumase Anglican JHS, expressed heartfelt appreciation on behalf of all beneficiaries. She highlighted how the provision of a modern water facility would greatly enhance daily life for both students and the wider community.
She also appealed for additional support, urging the donors to consider extending the initiative to other schools in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality that have yet to benefit from such interventions.
